The Research & Engineering Apprenticeship Program (REAP) is an Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) effort which provides high school students, especially those from underserved populations in STEM, a summer apprenticeship opportunity at Army research facilities and partner academic institutions. Student apprentices contribute to the research activities in a laboratory research setting under the supervision and guidance of a qualified mentor. This Request for Proposals seeks to identify host institutions to participate in REAP in FY2021. This RFP is for a one-year period with an optional one-year extension. REAP is administered by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). RIT is a member of the AEOP Consortium formed by the AEOP cooperative agreement award, a group assembled to provide and/or oversee STEM programs designed to support the goals and mission of the AEOP. The lead organization for the consortium is Battelle Memorial Institute, a non-profit research and development organization with a strong commitment to STEM education.
